Accelerated convergence of perturbative QCD by optimal conformal mapping of the Borel plane

Abstract

The technique of conformal mappings is applied to enlarge the convergence of the Borel series and to accelerate the convergence of Borel-summed Green functions in perturbative QCD. We use the optimal mapping, which takes into account the location of all the singularities of the Borel transform as well as the present knowledge about its behaviour near the first branch points. The determination of α_{s}(m_τ) from the hadronic decay rate of the τ-lepton is discussed as an illustration of the method.
